integer to enumeration conversion - I'm being stupid

[James_W]

Help. I've had a mind blank.

I want to get an array of values out of a FOR loop from the iteration count terminal, each must be associated with an enum. (just the 1 enum).

I want to only select certain values for my output e.g for quick build purposes all even / all odd.

I'm building an array using Shift registers, but try as I might, I can't seem to convert the [I] to an enum. all I get is a U32.

I've tried converting the I32 to U32 with the node from the conversion palette and then type casting the result to the enum, but it doesn't work for me.

Any ideas?

Is your enum already type def'ed?

Doesn't seem to make a difference if it isn't or if it is Strict type def'd (I don't use the plain type def - I find it too buggy when I update it.)

Post your code? Or an image? I find that working graphically has gotten me thinking graphically (arguably the way we have evolved) so sometime problems textually described that I don't understand are obvious when "seen".

Here is the code (forget if I have the enum linked or not)

I don't quite understand your problem.  If I right-click on the shift register outside the for loop and create an indicator, I get an array of enumerations on the front panel, which I think is what you're trying to get.  By the way, you can also create an array of integers from your for loop, then typecast that array to an array of enumerations; just make sure that you're consistent about the numeric representation of the integer and the enumeration.

Argh. It's working for me too now. It wasn't working earlier.

And what is the point of this??

It was Late. I was Tired. I feel Stooopid.

- Especially now I can't seem to get an array of Strict type def Enums coming out of a Sub VI to turn into a colon delimited string. (and there is now Icon for bursting into tears.)

Where is the weekend???

Array to for loop, enum to Format into string, add ';' before string if loop-I > 0. 😉
